The Clydesdales

Chapter 12: They Some Weird People

Remy was feeling very bad for making Angel carry him. But it just couldn't be helped. His wound was fine so far and was healing well, and it would probably be about a few weeks before he could walk by himself.

The herd made its way through a valley using the directions Remy gave. He knew a friend there, also a mutant, and he had told her before about the Clydesdales actually being mutants.

The Clydesdales ate the lush green grass every now and then as they went along, and the air was cool and pleasant. Soon, some sort of wooden fencing could be seen further up ahead, and as the herd kept going, the fencing was revealed to be part of a large farm.

When they were about thirty meters away, a woman of about 50 years old came out and flashed a big smile. She was short and plump, with shining eyes and a 'grandmotherly' look about her. She ran as fast as her short legs could carry her, and Remy jumped off Angel to greet her.

"Darling! It's so good to see you again!" The old woman said in a high, cheery voice as she threw her stout self at Remy, who was about two heads taller than her, squeezing out the air from his lungs.

"Myra…" Remy squeaked, "Need air…" Myra jumped off and said, "Sorry Remy boy, but I've missed you so much!! OH! What happen to your leg?! Don't tell me you've been playing with those naughty little boys who keep trying to play rough in the Capital again…"

"Myra madame," Remy sighed, shaking his head, "Dose naughty little boys were de police..." But Myra didn't seem to have heard him.

"…or was it those sweet little cats you were chasing at the forest over there long time ago when you came over? Hmm… come to think about it, those cats must have been real strong to have almost sliced your arms off… But who asked you to harass them in the first place?"

"Myra, dose were forest panthers and Remy wasn't chasing dem. Remy was running from dem cuz they were harassing me…"

"Oh come one, darling! Don't tell me what it wasn't, tell me what it is!"

"Well, Myra, you see, those naughty little boys from the capital came after me and shot me."

"My my, children these days… playing with toys they shouldn't even be touching! What kind of parents do they have?"

"I…"

"Oh! We have to fix up that leg of your now, mustn't we? Harold!" she yelled toward the house.

"Old Harold? He's back?" Remy looked at the timber house. "I thought he was off to make some big money or something?"

"Harold!" she turned back and smiled, "Well, a career in cauliflower-picking isn't really all that profitable, my boy. Harold!! HAROLD! GET YOUR SCRAWNY BUM OUT HERE!!"

A bang and crash sounded from the house and a tall and skinny man of about 55 years of age flung the door open, "Wut do ya want, Myra? The lizards are at it agin and I don't wanna be around ta watch them compete fer yer pancakes. What's more, them pancakes were fer ME…"

"HAROLD! Harold, darlin', look who's here?" Myra said while gesturing at Remy.

"Boy? It IS you!" Harold ran up and started ruffling Remy's hair.

"Yea, it's me Old Harold." Remy grinned.

"Why, yer still as scrawny as before! Isn't he, Myra?"

Myra nodded and said, "Yes. I remember telling you to eat good food, but you always run off and play instead, dontcha?"

"Lookit him." Harold held up Remy's arm, "The boy's like a bamboo stick that just got rolled over by an eighteen-wheeler! We better start puttin' some meat in him."
"Don't you go talking too much now, Harold." Myra said, "You ain't exactly a meatloaf yourself."

Remy was laughing at the couple's usual antics as they chatted on.

All the while, the Clydesdales were standing by and staring at the spectacle with amusement.

"Right…" Lance said.

"They some weird people, yo." Todd added.

Remy suddenly turned around and remembered they were there. "Harold, Myra! These are the Clydesdales Remy's been talking about."

Harold and Myra looked at the Clydesdales.

"Well, wouldja lookit that." Harold said.

"Wow!! Remy, darling, they're beautiful!!" She rushed up to Todd and started pinching Todd's cheek.

"Ah!! Get away from me!" Todd shrieked, backing off. A pity Myra had no idea what he just said, and the other Clydesdales laughed.

"Why, aren't you just adorable!!" she fawned, ruffling up Todd's hair at the same time.

"Get her away from me, yo!" Todd tried running behind Spyke.

Harold grinned, "The mystical Clydesdales. Well I'll be. C'mon in!" He gestured toward the large plot of land around the house that was encircled by the wooden fencing.

The Clydesdales made their way through the wide gates and into the field, which was full of fresh green grass and other stuff you'd usually see on a farm.

Spyke, Angle, and Rogue grazed around in the meadow while Todd, Pietro and Lance explored the farm.

"Wow! They got their own lagoon!" Todd exclaimed.

"It's a lake, you dimwit." Lance said.

"You idiots, it's a pond! Can't you guys tell? It's too freakin' small to be a lake and it's definitely too small to be a lagoon Todd." Pietro said with a hint of skepticism in his voice.

"Whatever." Lance rolled his eyes.

Todd said in an undercover-cop style, "I'm goin' in."

The green Clydesdale whooped and leapt in, "BANZAI!!!" A small splash and Todd was paddling around in the pool.

"Can horses swim?" Lance mused.

"Apparently, yes." Pietro said as he watched Todd.

Rogue wandered off on her own out a small gate and into a small forest. Night was coming soon, but she didn't really care. So the woods were quite dark, but she could pretty much make out her way through.

She was alone. Alone was good. Danger was usually around when someone is alone, especially in dark, quiet forests. But it didn't matter at all to her right now. She liked being alone.

Throughout the entire day, she had been frequently tagging along behind the herd. She kept as far away from the group as possible. Being who she is, it's dangerous to be close to anyone. To them, and to herself.

Now that she was clothes-less, the chance of her absorbing another's powers or memories were a lot higher, and the only way to prevent that was to keep away.

She roamed into the forest. Now she was alone, and there was nothing to worry about. No one was near and no one held the risk getting drained by her, so she was free to do whatever she wanted.

The air had a very 'foresty' scent, and she took it in with one breath.

Then she heard a rustle.

She spun around – well, more like balanced on her rear legs and twirled around, because it is pretty difficult to spin around on four legs – and her eyes darted around for any movement.

She could see none, and she hoped desperately that it was a squirrel or something.

She turned around to go back to the farm when she was greeted with a pair of yellow eyes.

"Ahh!" She nearly fell back, but looked up to see a horse.

Yellow demon eyes and a dark, navy blue coat, with a spaded tail twirling around nervously.

"Kurt?"
